Coyote's Song: The Teaching Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin
Richard D. Erlich's Coyote's Song: The Teaching Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin is a Science Fiction Research Association Digital Book described on the Ursula K. Le Guin website as “a major study, including prose and poetry, adult and children's books, covering many works often ignored by other critics, and coming more nearly up to date than most. It is written in English, not academese, and will be of interest to a wide spectrum of students, scholars, and interested readers.”
Coyote’s Song covers Le Guin’s canon from her earliest published works through the novellas collected in Four Ways to Forgiveness, and “Coming of Age in Karhide” (1995).
Erlich has had Coyote’s Song formatted as a hard-copy book and can provide PDF copies (5 MB) after 9 August 2009. (He will e-mail the PDF as an attachment upon request and add, if asked, his more recent work on “Le Guin and God” and Lavinia. )
